We eat a lot of waffles in Norway. Simple, inexpensive waffles for every day, finer waffles for special occasions. And sour cream waffles are absolutely something special: Crisp and warm, eat them with geitost or jam and, for a treat, with a spoonful of sour cream.

1/2 liter/1 pt. rich sour cream
6-8 tbsp. water
175 grams/6 oz./1 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder

Mix all ingredients to a smooth batter and let it stand and swell for 5-10 minutes. Bake the waffles over relatively low heat in an electric waffle iron or one that is heated over the stove. They should be crisp and golden brown.
